Cleaning Platinum and Diamond Jewelry
Q.Does anyone have any safe home remedies for cleaning platinum and diamond jewelry? I can never get my band to look as clean as the jeweler does.
A.Target sells materials for cleaning jewelry. They are on the jewelry counter in red containers. I bought the ultra-sonic cleaning machine for $20 because it was recommened in a diamond book. Unfortunately it doesn't clean my ring as well as the steam cleaner does at the jewelry store. I've had more luck with the $3 tubes of cleaner that have the brush inside. They look like red mascara tubes and they are on the counter with the other jewelry cleaners. They are safe for diamonds and platinum. I'll give you the same advice my Beverly Hills jeweler gave me (they should know, right?). He said to soak in ammonia overnight. If you have one of those vibrating ultrasonic jewelry cleaners thats a plus (I do, I never use it). Then take a soft brush after it has soaked and clean it. Rinse thoroughly and then dry with a hair dryer until completely dry. You would not believe how this makes the diamonds sparkle. Of course pearls and opals you would not do this to. Here is a webpage that gives tips on cleaning jewelry also: http://www.diamondandgem.info/articles/Jewelry_Care2.htm
